Leaving off the stoning of the pillars due to crowding and illness

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This brother, the questioner Abu Murad, says: A man performed Hajj three years ago and left off stoning the pillars during the days of Tashriq because of the crowd and fear, and because he has a heart condition. He performed the farewell circumambulation and returned to his country. What is required of him now?

Answer:
It was obligatory for him to appoint someone to stone on his behalf. Everyone who is unable to stone or is afraid should appoint someone to stone on his behalf, and the objective is achieved, praise be to Allah. The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stoned on behalf of the children. As for the fact that he did not stone and the time for Hajj passed while he had not stoned, he owes a fidyah (ransom payment), because he left off an obligatory act of Hajj. Whoever leaves off an obligatory act owes a fidyah. He slaughters a sheep in the place, or appoints someone to slaughter it and distribute it to the poor of the Haram. Yes.
